SEEK THE LORD

By Rick Mathes

Isaiah 55:6 (NASB) ⁶ Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

The eyes are the entry level to the soul. They ignite the mind and heart to have passion for that which they linger on. Satan is a slick critter that puts all the weight of Hell on your eyes to drag them down to look out instead of up. When you do that you have lost sight of our Savior and have been enticed to feast on the visions of pleasure the admen of Hades can offer up on the platter of Heron’s pleasure. You are at risk of losing your head!

Remember I Chronicles 7:11 and onward? Humble, pray, seek and turn THEN He will hear, forgive and heal. Well, seeking His face needs to be a 24/7 effort.

I financed by party-money in college by shooting pool and playing poker: 5 cards, 3 draw. I was diabolical in the game. I didn’t just want to win, I wanted to take all you had and then walk away the victor. I wanted to hurt you. When it comes to seeking the devil or Jesus, I fold my hand of cards. There is no choice but to seek Jesus and live. My knees drop to the floor as I seek His face in all my travels.

You won’t find Him in a liquor store, nightclub, or bedroom of a whore. My best advice to you seekers is to find a Paul to follow and Timothy to drag along with you. Follow the pastor that follows the Master an you will not only seek the Lord, you will find Him with eyes that have been opened by His Holy Spirit.

The Word says that He will come back like a thief in the night when you least expect Him.

There you are in bed with a whore, a bottle of Jack Daniels and a bag of dope. The heavens are an amphitheater of all the souls that have passed into glory: all the Apostles, disciples, prophets, loved ones. They are all watching you in that state of sin.

The Father says, “I created them in my likeness.” Jesus says, “I died to atone for their sins.” The Holy Spirit says, “I have given them the power to refuse sin.” All three do thumbs down!

When we as saints go to glory, there won’t be anything but “yes” to Jesus, and no Satan to say “no” to. Now is the only time we can seek the Lord while he can be found and say “yes” to him and “no” to Satan.

He said from the Cross, “It is finished,” but has yet to say “it is done.”

So seek Him now while He may yet be found and do not tarry. The door is about to close and the final chapter is almost written and ready for print. The flames are drawing nearer!
